What, you may ask, is Olympic speed skater APOLO OHNO doing hanging out with THE CLINTONS? And why is he wearing his gold medals at the beach? Reasonable questions, and ones for which there are in fact answers.

Some spas are initialing pedicures in faux rhinestone and pearl. All of which sounds like a new version of the Me decade. And you thought the '70s nostalgia was waning...
...wasn't long ago that Long Beach, Calif., was the place your luggage turned up when the airlines made a really big mistake. The working-class seaside city has been known as home to oil wells and refineries, the mothballed Queen Mary ocean liner and, until a few years ago, Howard Hughes' eight-engine flying monster, the Spruce Goose. Hardly anyone meant to fly there...
